Intro
Now I love mankind it's some nayburrs I can't stand
I know you forgive your trespassers so you might not understand
That our neighborhood abides by the fool's golden rule
That is, ""Do on to others before they do on you!""
Chorus
I'd get along with my neighbors if they didn't live next door
If they didn't aks me favors I'd love them all the more
I'd get along with my nayburrs if they had any sense
They'd stay in their own yard on their side of my fence
Verse 1
My nayburr yelled, I don't 'preshiate you starin' at my wife!
I said I can't help it, her bikini's so small and tight
Now wait a minute ol' friend, I don't mean to offend
But could you tell me how many doughnuts it took to assemble her big rear end?
Chorus
I'd get along with my neighbors if they didn't live next door
If they didn't aks me favors I'd love them all the more
I'd get along with my nayburrs if they had any sense
They'd stay in their own yard on their side of my fence
Verse 2
Hey good neighbor, your dog better stop barking all night
Or he's gonna have a short life!
I already called the dog pound
He said, well you'd better hide your wife!
Then he wet on my peonies, tried to stomp down my rhubarb
So I fed their cat some prunes and I locked it in their new car
Chorus
I'd get along with my neighbors if they didn't live next door
If they didn't aks me favors I'd love them all the more
I'd get along with my nayburrs if they had any sense
They'd stay in their own yard on their side of my fence
Interlude
(the very saddest part of this story)
Well my neighbor friends said they'd had enough and moved away
A for-sale sign's on their house
You know I kinda miss them folks
I been feelin' like a louse
Now they've called to say they're sorry
Teardrops fill my eyes
I didn't mean to drive ya'all away
Huh? Look out the window for a sweet surprise?
What?! Your loan fell thru?
You're movin' back in?
Chorus
I'd get along with my neighbors if they didn't live next door
If they didn't aks me favors I'd love them all the more
I'd get along with my nayburrs if they had any sense
They'd stay in their own yard on their side of my fence
Spoken:
Oh, hey there fine nayburr... if ya' don't want that first ripe t'mater...
I will... return your drill... directly...
